U.S. stock futures mixed; Nvidia earnings spark little cheer
Investing.com -- The Kremlin confirmed on Tuesday that Russian forces are set to observe a ceasefire in Ukraine from May 8 to May 10, following the directive of President Vladimir Putin. This move, however, is contingent on Ukrainian forces refraining from attacking Russian positions.
On April 28, Putin announced a three-day ceasefire to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Union and its allies over Nazi Germany in World War Two. According to the Kremlin, the 72-hour ceasefire will begin on May 8 and continue through May 10. During this period, Putin is expected to host international leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, on Moscow’s Red Square.
Opposing this brief ceasefire, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has shown preference for a ceasefire period of at least 30 days. Putin has responded to this suggestion, stating that the idea requires substantial work before it can be actualized.
